Breaking News From My Congressional District: Wife of Outgoing Kansas Dem Congressman Dennis Moore Will Run for Hubby's Seat.

(Link below from the Kansas City Star; Moore, BTW and appropriately enough, is pictured on the far left above in the Nancy Pelosi photo op).

This is great news! Because now I will have a Moore to vote against in November! I had been greatly disappointed by Moore's decision not to run, but this almost makes up for it. Moore, for the record, voted for Obama & The Dems' health care monstrosity both last fall and this past Sunday. He refused to hold a townhall meeting last August to hear what we think about the dems' health care legislation, and now he's runnin' for the hills. It will be interesting to observe whether his wife, in contrast, will actually have the courage to listen to the viewpoints of her potential constituents during the campaign.

Postscript: How about liberal Steve Kraske's line in the linked story about Stephene Moore (Dennis' wife) perhaps not having to face quite as tough a political climate in November now that the dems' have passed a health care bill. Mr. Kraske: See my blog post immediately below this one -- Many of us Independents have already made up our minds. Your people sealed that deal with Sunday's vote. Take me for example: If the bill had gone down to defeat, there's a very good chance that in November, I would have followed my usual practice of voting for a third party candidate as a protest vote against our two B.S. parties. But after Sunday, that ain't happenin'. Not in November, leastways.

Further postscript: Is that Paul Simon to Pelosi's left in the picture above? I think it is! A true rock and pop music legend, even if he might think about keeping a little better company! ;)
